I heard my aunt last night say she doesn’t want to be around me. Shes sz too, even though she probably won’t admit it. I’m so over trying to get better, its like what ever I do doesn’t help. It helps to a degree like making voices quitter. But they eventually go back to normal. Anybody else feel this way

My uncle doesn’t want to be around me because he’s scared of me. It bothered me a little but I learned to let go. Don’t sweat it. Take care of yourself.

Yea, I think shes afaird of me. But she has the illness to cue I hear her voice. Kinda strange or what ever wanna call it , that she would be afraid of me knowing she has the same disease.

I felt like this last week and posted a thread about it. Sometimes this disease can just wear you down. You get battle fatigue.
You have to take a tactical retreat every so often.
Then keep fighting.

You are valuable and worthy of love. Don’t give up on yourself. Keep going especially when you are exhausted. Take care of yourself. Keep talking to the ones who are helping you.
Nicely put, @everhopeful, good analogy.

She’s 60 + yrs old, how she became sz. Is behind me probably all the drinking she does. Just proves this is a disease of all ages. 1 can defeat it but must almost live like a Angel.
It took me ten years to find the medication that made me stable. And another two years to find a combo that got rid of my side effects. But I have officially had zero positive symptoms for over two years now. It’s a long battle, but it’s so worth it! You’ll get your life back. Just keep trying.

I wanted to give up many times. I’m glad I kept trying. I kept trying to survive and I’ve survived. My life is better than when I was younger, but the fact is that it will never be easy.
It’s never going to be easy but it has proven to be worth it. It’s worth it.

Don’t get me wrong. I still have to be very careful about getting proper sleep, and taking my meds on time, and not drinking, and going to therapy every week. But I’m happy with where I am, and I’m accomplishing the things I want to accomplish.
